The combination for this pizzetta is a real winner and lends itself perfectly to a smaller format pizzetta. It’s salty, sweet, has great texture and makes a great change from having a tomato base. I’ve added a thin layer of caramelised onions and I’ve also candied the walnuts with sugar, but you can just simply roast them if you want.
Method
Heat your pizza oven to 400 degrees
Make sure you peel is clean and dry and lightly dust with semolina. Lightly dust each side of your dough with semolina and stretch over your peel. Use your fingers to lightly ‘crimp’ around the edges of your dough to form the crust.
Bake your pizzetta base in the oven until slightly crisped, puffed but remove before it is perfectly cooked.
Spread a thin layer of caramelised onions on your pizzetta, slice your goats cheese and lay a few slices on top of your onions, scatter around the black olives and the chopped walnuts and finish cooking – remove when the cheese is soft and gooey and the crust has coloured and slightly blistered. Drizzle with a little Capezzana olive oil and serve straight away.
This dish was roasted in the Alfa Forni 5 Minuti. For more information and prices, click here.

Three Sisters Pizza! We’ve been growing a three sisters garden together as a family this year and now it’s harvest time.

The perfect pizza is a tall order, not least because ‘the perfect pizza’ is pretty subjective. For some, the perfect pizza has pineapple on it; for others, ‘perfect’ is a few basil leaves carefully placed on a Campania buffalo mozzarella and a sauce of San Marzano tomatoes grown in the fertile volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius, all baked in a woodfired pizza oven.
But regardless of the toppings, there are definitely utensils and tools that help you cook your perfect pizza.
